Another note: Don't just settle for a random mirror. Try out the mirrors
listed in the Fedora Public list. Find one that reliably connects. Put
your selection in fedora.repo and fedora-update.repo in
/etc/yum.repos.d/ (disable the mirrorslist, enable and insert the
mirror's url to the baseurl line) or create your own
reliable-mirror.repo file..
Hmm... I'll try that -- but it seems strange. Wasn't the whole
point of making yum choose mirrors to spread the load??
Check the color depth. You should be able to do this using
System->Preferences->Display in Gnome.
That launches system-config-display -- precisely the app I had
been trying so stubbornly to get, because for some unimaginable reason I
didn't have it on that machine.
I did get it just now; launched it; ran it; and the display is
still not entirely right, but it's a *lot* better. Resetting the colors
for each profile in gnome-terminal helped, too.

I have precious (very precious!) little idea where up is.
